Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait Of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) by Henry Pierce Bone was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 17,500.00 (€ 19,519.92). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Pierce Bone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work John Charles Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 3rd Earl Spencer (1782-1845), as Chancellor of the Exchequer, full length in Chancellor's robes over black mourning suit, standing beside a George II giltwood console table from Spencer House draped with green, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 51,650.00 (€ 62,103.31).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) von Henry Pierce Bone im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 17.500,00 (€ 19.519,92) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry Pierce Bone mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit John Charles Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 3rd Earl Spencer (1782-1845), as Chancellor of the Exchequer, full length in Chancellor's robes over black mourning suit, standing beside a George II giltwood console table from Spencer House draped with green beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für GBP 51.650,00 (€ 62.103,31) versteigert wurde.
